Dutch I can't believe I am having this conversation with you. That is not a solid roller for the awning there is a spring inside that will release the material with a strong enough side wind with the arm not going past the stop.

I with Duch, first the anti billow device should be installed at the front of the topper, and if a long topper it should have two.

You solution is an accident waiting to happen!

SE, your thought on how the slide topper spring and anti billow functions is wrong. With the Dometic Anti Bilow device operating correctly, the fabric and tube CANNOT unfurl no matter what type of wind. Your design will also keep it from unfurling, but the problem as I stated is, you forget to release your type and damage can happen. Don't get upset because you had a problem and fixed it by yourself and then others showed a better way and a OEM way. Repost you pic, maybe someone will want to do what you did. Doug
